A criminal with a craving for red meat hit the Winn-Dixie on Palm Beach Boulevard not once or twice, but four times in May.

"That's kind of odd that she got away with it that many days in a row," said Simon Xayamounkhoun, owner of Platinum Image.

Lee County deputies say the robber's haul totals more than $1,000.

"One thousand dollars worth of meat, where did she put it?" said North Fort Myers resident Kathryn Gorman.

Police said surveillance video shows the suspect filling her cart and then slipping close to 14 packages of meat at one time into her purse.

"She had to have a big purse," Santiago said.

Deputies say the woman would walk right past the registers and out the front door with her purse packed full.

"That's a lot of meat," Xayamounkhoun said. "That's a whole lot of eating. Must be feeding an army."

Officials are now hoping someone recognizes the woman with an appetite for crime. The suspect is between 5’9” and 6’0”, thin, with dark tattoos on her upper arms and back.

Anyone with information on the identity and whereabouts of the suspect is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS (8477). All callers will remain anonymous and will be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000. Tips may also be made online at southwestfloridacrimestoppers.com or by submitting a tip on the P3Tips mobile app.
